How about that odd simultaneous rain and sun event happening in Springfield last Saturday? I snapped photos before heading into work, but the rain and sunshine continued for quite a while after that.
The 31st and “last” Richfield Run was held last Sunday, October 12 in our neighboring town of Richfield, NE. Runners lined up to race 3 miles, 10 miles or (for the kids) a 1 mile run. Springfield runners were there to participate in this long tradition.
The Platteview High Cross Country team helped out.
